Kevin Piccand

Kevin Piccand is a photographer in Bulle who describes himself as active in the canton of Fribourg and across French-speaking Switzerland. Weddings, civil or religious, head his list of services, alongside portrait and group shoots (including bachelorette parties), commercial and corporate work, events, photography courses and coaching. His homepage states his values plainly: he particularly enjoys contact with clients, likes to bring happiness through pictures that preserve a moment of their lives, and builds his work on quality and on listening to what clients want. For couples booking now, the homepage carries a clear offer: 10% off all 2027 wedding packages for bookings made 6 months in advance.

What couples say about his wedding work

Piccand's site is unusual in how many reviews it carries, and they are the best guide to his wedding style. One couple, the Germiquets, describe a summer wedding: on his advice they did their couple photos before the ceremony, which turned out perfect because it left them time at the apéro with their guests and let them relax and laugh. He took a great many pictures without them noticing, they write, "Il était partout mais hyper discret" (he was everywhere but extremely discreet), and the guests found him very friendly. The work afterwards, sending the photos and retouching after their selection, was done very quickly and professionally.

Other couples say similar things. Emeline and Simon, married in September 2019, write that the photos were passed to them quickly for sorting, that the colors are vivid, and that he put them at ease for the couple portraits. Several couples describe the value for money as competitive or reasonable. Laure and David praise his speed in processing the photos and his energy all day long, and a Google reviewer mentions fast delivery and the option to personalize the photo box.

Cristofe and Fanny Chaveiro single out his organization and his ideas for the photos, and the Azau couple call him attentive, devoted, discreet and competent. Lorianne writes that he put the couple at ease and that their guests were delighted, and a Google reviewer, Virginie, notes how well he spoke to people during the small group photos and put them at ease. For couples worried about stiff family pictures, that is a useful detail.

The site's review widget reports an excellent rating based on 42 Google reviews.

For people who dislike the camera

A recurring theme in the reviews is people who did not expect to enjoy being photographed. One client writes that she hates photos and always thinks she looks bad in them, yet he managed to make very pretty pictures, full of ideas both classic and original. Another says she was not at ease at first until he relaxed the atmosphere. Couples who dread the portrait part of the day may take some comfort from these accounts, and from his habit of suggesting poses and places. His homepage opens with a line from Yann Arthus-Bertrand: « En photographie, ce n'est pas le photographe qui est important. » (In photography, the photographer is not what matters.) His own promise to clients is a moment of sharing, original photos and quality work.

Event clients add another angle. The Carnaval de Courtepin hired him in February 2018 and again in 2019, and wrote that every highlight of the festivities appears in the albums and that he stayed professional, fast and respectful in a festive setting, which is close to what a lively wedding reception asks of a photographer.

How a wedding works with him

The homepage does not lay out a step-by-step process, but the reviews and contact form sketch it. Couples inquire through the form, which asks for the service (wedding, shoot, course or other), the location and date of the event, and a message; he promises to answer quickly. Couple portraits can be scheduled before the ceremony. After the wedding, the couple receives the photos, makes a selection, and he retouches the chosen images. A photo box can be personalized.

He is equipped for both photo and video, and writes that he enjoys working with good professional equipment and can meet any need in either. The menu has a separate video page, so couples who want film as well as photos should ask how that is offered for a wedding.

Prices and the 2027 offer

The homepage shows no price list, but the contact section links to his rates on a separate page. The one figure on the homepage is the discount: 10% off every 2027 wedding package when booked 6 months ahead. Reviews repeatedly describe his prices as reasonable for the work.

Bachelorette shoots and other services

Bachelorette party shoots (EVJF in French) are a regular part of his work, and several reviews describe them: one group of 12 women says he put everyone at ease at once and the afternoon was full of laughter, and one bride-to-be combined her shoot with a wine tasting that he led with obvious enthusiasm. One groom-to-be hired him to photograph his proposal and praises him for staying hidden and answering messages quickly. These are useful for couples who want the same photographer through the whole run-up to the wedding.

He also runs photography courses, including beginner, night, urban and smartphone photography, with group courses in Riaz on Saturday 31 October and 19 December 2026 from 13:00 to 16:00. Students praise his patience and his availability for questions by WhatsApp after the course. His coaching offer includes technical coaching, an introspective walk, emotional release and self-image sessions. He also takes on company commissions, construction-site documentation and quick photo printing.

What the site does not answer

The homepage does not state package contents, hours of coverage, the number of images, a delivery time, or whether a second photographer is available; those details have to come from the rates page or an inquiry. The site is written in French, and apart from one English review from a student group it offers nothing in English, and it does not say whether he works in English. Couples from abroad should raise that first. How travel outside the Fribourg region is charged is also not stated.

Who he suits

Piccand suits couples marrying around Bulle or elsewhere in the canton of Fribourg and French-speaking Switzerland who want a relaxed, discreet photographer with a quick turnaround and a fair price. Couples who would like photos of the proposal or the bachelorette party, or who want to learn some photography themselves, can keep the same person throughout. The caveats are the French-only site and the need to check the rates page and ask about package details before booking.
